Workers complain of dismissal<\/p>\n
Around 150 workers of PT Duta Busana Danastri, a garment
\ncompany, marched to the headquarters of the National Commission
\non Human Rights yesterday to complain of the dismissal of a co-
\nworker.<\/p>\n
The workers also demanded that the company form a bipartite
\nbody to bridge any differences between them.<\/p>\n
Siti Nurofikoh, 21, who worked in the sewing section, was
\ndismissed for being absent for eight days without permission.<\/p>\n
According to Siti, she was given a four-day leave which was
\nextendible by another two days to attend her sister's wedding at
\nBrodan village, Magelang regency, Central Java.<\/p>\n
She said that her late return to work was due to her failing
\nhealth which forced her to take two more days to rest. She said
\nshe had sent the company a letter to inform it of her condition.<\/p>\n
When she arrived here, the management refused to allow her to
\nwork. The company's decision led to a strike since June 15. The
\nprotesters said they would continue the strike until their
\ndemands were fulfilled.<\/p>\n
The laborers were received by Marzuki Darusman, a prominent
\nfigure within the Commission.(03)<\/p>",
